Kharlov,People’s Commissar for AgriculturePetrovsk, Saratov Gubernia

Ifall forces in your uyezd have been mobilised, then
obviously you must ask for threshing detachments of workers
from here, for the harvesting of grain must be speeded up
many times over. Telegraph daily how many waggons are
being sent off, under what markings and where from.
Announce a big bonus for the volost that is the first to sweep
up all grain surpluses. Draw up lists by volosts of the
richest peasants, who are answerable with their lives for the
proper progress of the work to supply grain to the starving
capital cities.
